We knew that this would happen.  We would lose some people.  When a
project like us goes basically directionless for years it picks up
people who have different ideas about what they want to create and where
they want to go with it.  When direction starts to happen, some of these
people will find that they are not in line with where the project is
going.  This is one of the reasons why we make it so easy to take what
we do and build from it or take it in a different direction.  We welcome
that.
